...told has been sent not only to the authorities in Cambridge, but to the Association of Colleges in New England, an organization that includes a large percentage of Harvard's athletic rivals. At home it will carry great weight, but abroad it is too likely to be heard with indifferent respect. Coming at a time when all Harvard men are awaiting the outcome of an effort to restore athletic relations between Harvard and Princeton, its effect upon Harvard schedules will be out of all proportion to that upon the athletic calendars of our rivals.

...available ground for scrub athletics that Leiter cup baseball, which in 1906 gave exercise and amusement to 200 men, had to be abandoned. Last year the cricket team could not find grounds to play on. There is plenty of unimproved land on Soldiers Field, but as yet we have heard of no steps taken toward making it available for use. It is hard to believe that the importance of a prompt payment of the debt on the Stadium is greater than that of supplying grounds for the men who want to play games for sport's sake...
